The columns in XD #29 are a continuation of the “Revenge of Print” theme put forth in the previous issue. Publisher Davida Gypsy Breier contemplates the current state of zine and small press publishing, Dread Socket offers his take on what is and/or isn’t a zine and Inner Swine’s Jeff Somers writes another column about himself. Things seem to be getting a little Maximumrocknroll in zineland these days, which can be interesting and spark good debate right up to the point where it becomes a parody of itself. We’re not there yet, I don’t think. And then there are the reviews by the likes of zine movers & shakers, Joe Biel (Microcosm Publishing), Liz Mason (Caboose), and about a dozen other lovers of all things zine.
